Stayed 3 nights

Our Family Room could use a little refreshing, but aside from that, our stay was absolutely perfect. The breakfast and lunch kitchen teams were exceptionally kind and attentive, and the reception staff were equally welcoming and professional. I also needed to work during my stay, and the internet connection was excellent — fast, stable, and very reliable, which made a real difference. Food was also diverse and very good. I have stayed in many Novotel properties, particularly across Europe, and this one truly stands out as the best experience I’ve had so far. A special thank you to Ousmane, Safietou, and the lovely lady welcoming guests at the restaurant entrance for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. We will gladly return.

We had a very scary experience with the staff. Our room had no deadbolt then we had someone knock and try to get it. Then someone from the front desk call up and ask if I was alone and if the door was locked. Mind you I’m a younger female. I tried to talk to the staff about it via email but it’s been 10 days with no response. Super disappointed in their customer service and lack of safety. DO NOT stay here!

room was just about fine - clean-ish but super rundown. food in the hotel was dire, would recommend checking out other hotels locally or the many great local restaurants in the area some of the staff are very rude, very pushy and make the experience of checking in / using amenities extremely unpleasant
